Hi
I am currently trying to work out if i would be better off earning 16,000 as a single mum rather than the 19,000 im on. Does anyone know if bonus' count as income when it comes to tax credits and housing benefit? Im a store manager and if i beat target get bonus' (they are percentage based).
I i am then im gonna try persuade my company to let me work 4 days a week for less money? No idea if they would though.
Thanks
